We are pleased to be in a position to offer this celebrated collection, which is 
so well known to all the Orchid world, having been in process of formation for over 
thirty years. 
Mr. Winn has made Orchids his special study, devoting all his leisure time to 
acquire a thorough practical knowledge of their cultivation and hybridisation in which 
it is well known he has been eminently successful. 
The Plants have been purchased with great discretion as to the varieties, many 
being bought in flower. When imported Plants have been acquired, only the finest forms 
and varieties have been kept, Mn. Winn disposing of all that have not reached his high 
standard of excellence ; the same course has been pursued with the Seedlings raised 
at Selly Hill. Mr. Winn has specially impressed the above facts upon us. 
Being so well acquainted with this collection, we have purchased it from jMit 
Winn on the distinct understanding that we accept all responsibility as to the correct 
naming of the Plants. 
It is well known that Mr. Winn was a lover of all classes of Orchids, perhaps 
he has most favoured Cyprcpediums, Cattleyas, Dendrobiums, and Masdevallias, the 
collection being very rich in varieties of the above. 
In this Catalogue we are including all Named species, varieties, and hybrids ; 
also plants with seeds sown on the pots, which has not yet visibly germinated, and 
plants carrying seed pods. Great care has been exercised in keeping a record of 
the sowing and hybridising of the above. T’he records are in our possession, and 
will be shown to any purchaser wishing to see them. 
This collection being so large and full of interesting detail, we found it advisable 
to offer the Seedlings (unflowered), also the Plants with Seedlings growing upon the 
Pots, in a later Catalogue, which will be ready at an early date. 
We particularly wish to call attention to the fact that we have carefully 
considered the value of the Plants, and have priced them at a figure that should 
ensure a clearance sale. 
The entire Collection will be offered, and no Plants will 
be parted with till day of Sale. 
The Plants are in wonderful condition, being exceptionally clean and vigorous.
